Dear Guru Maharaj!
oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine
namo ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa-pradāyine
gaura-kathā dhāmadhāya nagara-grāma tāriṇe
Jaya Panca Tattwa Jaya Senapati Bhakta!
Jayapataka Swami jaya ISKCON Guru Vrnda!!
All glories to Panca tattva! All Glories to the Senapati Bhakta, His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada!! All glories to Srila Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj!!! and All glories to all Guru Vrndas of ISKCON!!!
Dear Guru Maharaj! Your glories are as unlimited as your mercy is unlimited! I am not qualified to glorify you. However, by your unlimited mercy, even a most fallen person like me can glorify you. Taking advantage of this, my humble submission at your lotus feet are few lines from my mind.
You are the representative of Govinda and perfectly situated at the divine lotus feet of Our beloved Srila Prabhupada! Your glory is beyond the conception of ordinary living being.
By distributing the mercy of Nittai through pastimes of Gaura Hari, you make the chanters feel the true eternal happiness - an experience that no one had in the material existence!
By calling out Gauranga Gauranga and Nityananda, while engaging us in the same line, you are reducing our offenses and adding taste to our chanting and other devotional services.
You are a reservoir of all auspicious attributes. Your characteristics, activities and name are always auspicious. You are indeed every desciple's dearest life.
As the spiritual master of all your desciples, and siksha Guru to many devotees You are one of the most revered personalities in the world.
Your speaches during parikrama this year reveals that though physically you were in Chennai, actually you were present in the parikrama and further in safari. This also reveals me the truth that you are moving on the surface of the earth carrying Mayapur Dham along with Radha Madhav and Panca Tattva and other Gaura Bhakta Vrinda in your heart.
You are very dear to Srila Prabhupada, and up the hierarchy till Lord Caitanya, and because of you, they recognise us (your desciples), as we are attempting and struggling to become vaishnavas.
Your speeches of pastimes of Lord Caitanya, always brings about a transformation in the heart of the hearer. And attraction towards Guru and Gauranga increases. However, as the maya is very powerfull, it is difficult to sustain those transformations always, and again and again forgetting the pastimes, and tendency to be engaged in the material activities increases. It is extremely difficult, despite attempts to constantly remain in the service at your lotus feet. Owing to our faults, am witnessing you are getting deprecated of your limbs which is intollerable to all the vaishnavas.
So, kindly don't cast me away from your lotus feet even though am slipping off due to my slackness and ignorance, and maintain this ignorant fool at your lotus feet as I don't have any other shelter.
At the end of my offering, on this most auspiscious day of my life I beg from you dear Guru Maharaj, please energise me, engage me and make me do what you desire me to do. Kindly bless me to be fully obsorbed in your thoughts and increase love for You, Srila Prabhupada, Nittai-Gauranga and Radha-Madhav unlimitedly within my heart.
Your Eternal Servant and Spiritual Son
Brajeshwar Gaura Dasa.
